Electron Diffraction Using Transmission Electron Microscopy

Abstract
Electron diffraction via the transmission electron microscope is a powerful method for characterizing the structure of materials, including perfect crystals and defect structures. The advantages of electron diffraction over other methods, e.g., x-ray or neutron, arise from the extremely short wavelength (~2 pm), the strong atomic scattering, even from light elements, and the ability to examine tiny volumes of matter (~ 10 nm(Superscript 3)). The NIST Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory has a history of discovery and characterization of new structures through electron diffraction, alone or in combination with other diffraction methods. This paper provides a survey of some of this work enabled through electron microscopy.Citation
